More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
He's not getting the pitches we thought he would. He threw one-third of an inning last time. He was going to be a starter that second round, which would get him to the pitch counts that we're comfortable with. It hasn't happened, other than the first time, so far.Bob Melvin

Bob Melvin

Bob Melvin
